We've found that there's been a few issues with the VS app on a few android devices, causing behavior like a black screen or a weirdly discolored image. The reason this is happening is because different android phones have different hardware decode formats and we haven't added support for all decode formats yet. I was hoping to get your help on solving this problem. Currently the known issues are:

I know I've definitely missed tons of devices so if your phone/tablet is having problems could you add your device model, android version and the issue as a comment below ? Thanks We'll keep updating the list as you guys add them below.

How Can We Fix This ?To fix this, we first need to get more information about your devices. specifically the hardware decode info. Tomorrow night, we're going to release a new update that you'll automatically get (As long as you're connected to wifi or data ). The update will have a feature that records a single image using your android devices hardware decoder. We'll have a button there to record that image and then we'll ask you guys to email that to us at hello@vertical.ai. We'll have instructions for this tomorrow.

I did notice a few issues, so here they are in descending order of importance:
